« ISLAMISTS, CIRCA 2005 | Main | Piling on Newsweek » Newsweek Hype
By Micah Halpern
Tuesday May 17, 2005 I've Been Thinking: The most important lesson to be learned from the Newsweek scandal is not in journalism, it is in international relations. Certainly, Newsweek was irresponsible for publishing a line attributed to a source that was untrue. The central issue in this whole tempest is the popular attitude of Muslim countries toward the United States. Radio news, newspapers and sermons in mosques regularly harangue locals to take to the streets and teach the godless Americans a lesson about respect. These few words were just an easy way to stoke the flames of anti-American feelings. Feelings that already existed. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
